Oh, I forgot about the wine! It was about $4 at Top Foods with a coupon, so another $.70 per meal.

Kracinda, I'd just substitute white grape juice (or diluted apple juice in a pinch) and I'm sure it'll still be yummy. My DH doesn't drink wine so if I didn't use it for cooking we'd probably have that bottle going rancid in the fridge door.

Often, chicken broth is a fine substitute for white wine in recipes. Have you ever heard of "Two Buck Chuck"? It's Trader Joe's Charles Shaw brand, which is a very decent wine at $2 a bottle! A friend served it at a wedding even :)
